Even though the weather in Cary is nice enough for swimming long before the pool opens in mid- May and way after it closes on Labor Day, the pools here only stay open during summer school break. This was our most fun summer at the pool since the boys were born and I am truly going to miss watching them splash around and do tricks.
We've had a theme to each summer since moving here.
The first summer (newborn) = Summer of Twins. A good day meant we had showered, eaten, and gotten more than 3 consecutive hours of sleep. We strolled past the pool with our double snap n go longing for the days we would be at the pool.
The second summer (age 1) = Summer of Fishing Unsteady Toddlers Off the Bottom of the Baby Pool.
The third summer (age 2) = Summer of Stopping The Boys From Jumping Off the Side of the Baby Pool and Cracking Their Heads Open.
This summer (age 3) = Summer of Pooping At the Pool. One of the boys had to go at almost every pool trip. We used more swim diapers this summer than we did the previous two summers combined but we also spent an incredible amount of time there.
We hit the pool after work last night since our pool evenings are limited, and I couldn't help but wonder what next year's theme will be. Hopefully it will be First Year of Swim Team and I KNOW it will be First Summer Laura Stayed Out of the Sun as Much as Possible.

My mom takes Michael to her pool almost every day, so she's well acquainted with the joys of swim diapers. She feels for you.
Do you have a local Y or community center that has an indoor pool? Michael has enjoyed swimming so much this summer that I'm thinking of shelling out the money for the community center so I can take him swimming.
Next year will definitely be the swim team summer! Because of your earlier post - I made an appt at a dermatologist for next week.
An indoor pool is a good idea. I hate it when our pool closes for the summer since all my girls love swimming.
